Chapter 247: Heavy Blows, Improved Public Security

Shang Jingchuan did not sit down, but bowed to Yan Sifu very solemnly.

"Master Fu Mu, what do you want me to do?"

Hearing this address, Yan Sifu's expression suddenly became very subtle.

He is indeed Jingzhao Fu Mu, Shang Jingchuan's immediate superior.

But no one has ever called him that, they all call him King Qi Qiansui.

Now Shang Jingchuan called him that, obviously reminding himself intentionally, and also drawing a clear line with himself.

But the strangeness on Yan Sifu's face was only a flash, and then he smiled and said: "There is no Jingzhao Fu Mu here today, let alone King Qi, we are just chatting casually, don't be so restrained."

Yan Sifu said so, Shang Jingchuan had no choice but to sit down.

To be honest, after receiving Yan Sifu's invitation, Shang Jingchuan's heart was full of resistance.

But Yan Sifu was his immediate superior, he sent out the invitation, Shang Jingchuan could only obey.

At this moment, Shang Jingchuan only wanted to end this awkward meeting as soon as possible.

At this time, a servant brought tea and snacks, and Yan Sifu chatted with Shang Jingchuan while drinking tea.

Shang Jingchuan patiently dealt with it.

But after drinking a pot of tea, Shang Jingchuan saw that Yan Sifu still had no intention of talking about business, and finally couldn't help it.

"Master Fu Mu, may I ask what you want me to do? If there is nothing, please allow me to leave, because there are still many things waiting for me to deal with in Jingzhao Prefecture."

"Hahahaha Jingchuan is really impatient. In fact, there is nothing to ask you to come. I just want to ask if you are used to it after taking office. If you need anything, you can ask me. After all, I am also the post of Jingzhao Fu Mu, and I can still help you solve this problem." Yan Sifu said with a smile.

Shang Jingchuan shook his head, "Thank you for your concern, Lord Fu Mu, but I'm not used to it, and I don't have any needs."

"How can I not have needs? I heard that you took people to take down Changpingfang two days ago, and I guess you lost a lot of your men. So, I will allocate a separate amount of silver to you as a reward, how about it?"

Hearing this, Shang Jingchuan had only one reaction.

That is, there is something fishy here.

First of all, it was a bit abnormal for him to take the initiative to mention the matter of Changpingfang. Secondly, he should know that the thorough investigation of Changpingfang by Jingzhao Prefecture this time was done by Zhao Ya, and the yamen runners and constables of Jingzhao Prefecture did not lose a hair, so how could they lose anything?

So these words obviously have a deeper meaning.

Shang Jingchuan took a deep breath, "Master Fu Mu, there is no need for reward, my men didn't suffer much loss."

"Hey, no loss now doesn't mean there won't be loss in the future, it's better to be prepared, and this money is not a small amount!"

Yan Sifu winked at his men, and someone immediately came in with a tray with a thick stack of gold notes on it.

"This is 50,000 taels of gold notes, which can be exchanged at any time, without any secret marks, and can even be used in neighboring countries, which is extremely safe." Yan Sifu smiled.

Shang Jingchuan finally understood.

This so-called reward is simply a bribe to himself.

He looked at Yan Sifu deeply, "Is this what you meant, Lord Fu Mu, or..."

"You are indeed a smart man. Of course, I have some ideas in this, but the majority of it is sent by major families. As long as you are willing to nod, you will have a generous dividend every year in the future."

As he said, this money was indeed paid by major wealthy families, and the purpose was naturally to shut Shang Jingchuan's mouth and bring him to the same camp.

As the highest official of Jingzhao Prefecture in name and Shang Jingchuan's immediate superior, Yan Sifu was naturally the most suitable person to do this.

And Yan Sifu didn't think it was difficult, so he agreed.

At this moment, Yan Sifu stared at Shang Jingchuan, waiting for his statement.

In his opinion, Shang Jingchuan would definitely agree if he was not a fool.

After all, on one side is countless glory and wealth, and on the other side is the enemy of the powerful and nobles in the court.

You can tell which is more important at a glance.

But just when he was waiting for Shang Jingchuan to nod with full confidence,

An unexpected scene happened.

Shang Jingchuan looked at the gold note on the tray, then slowly stood up.

"Master Fu Mu, although I am not very capable, I have read the books of sages since I was young, so I still have some sense of propriety, righteousness and integrity, so please forgive me for not accepting this money."

Yan Sifu was stunned, and then he saved it.

"If you think it's too little, this money can actually be negotiated..."

"This is not a matter of more or less money, but a matter of principle." Shang Jingchuan's attitude was clear and he refused decisively.

Yan Sifu was completely embarrassed now, looking at Shang Jingchuan with a gloomy face, and said with a fake smile: "Principle?"

"That's right."

Shang Jingchuan took a deep breath and said with a bow.

"Master Fu Mu, I know what these people who sent money are thinking. Please tell them that I will never accept the money. If they have done evil things before, it is best to stop now, and there is still a chance to turn back. Otherwise, my Jingzhao Prefecture will never show favor to anyone."

"I still have a lot of things to do, so I'll take my leave now."

Shang Jingchuan turned around and left.

At this moment, Yan Sifu's sinister voice came from behind.

"Shang Jingchuan, do you really think you can do whatever you want with that Zhao guy as your support?"

Shang Jingchuan stopped and looked back at Yan Sifu, "Master Fu Mu is wrong, I don't rely on Zhao Ya."

"Oh? Who is that?"

"It's the law of the Great Yan and the justice of the people." Shang Jingchuan said in a deep voice.

Yan Sifu was stunned by what he said, and when he came to his senses, Shang Jingchuan had already left.

Then he jumped up from the chair like a cat whose tail was stepped on.

"Shang Jingchuan, wait, I will make you regret what you said today sooner or later."

In his opinion, the so-called law of the Great Yan and the justice of the people are all bullshit, which is purely an excuse that Shang Jingchuan found to evade himself.

These days, who doesn't live for money and power, who the hell cares about these empty things.

Especially in Yan Sifu's opinion, Shang Jingchuan is just an old dog with no use value.

Now he dares to talk to him like this, isn't this a naked slap in his face?

Yan Sifu was so angry that he smashed more than a dozen tea sets, and then he calmed down a little.

"Zhao Ya, everything started because of you. Just wait, I will find a way to kill you."

Yan Sifu thought that Shang Jingchuan dared to be so arrogant mainly because Zhao Ya was backing him up.

So as long as Zhao Ya was killed, all the problems would be solved.

Thinking of this, he immediately called his son Yan Peng, and the first sentence he said was.

"Hire a few killers in the martial arts world with a lot of money."

"What do you want to do?" Yan Peng said in confusion.

"I want to kill this Zhao Ya." Yan Sifu gritted his teeth and said.

Yan Peng was so amused that he didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Let alone whether this matter was reliable or not, even if Yan Sifu wanted to spend money to hire a killer, no one would dare to take the order.

After all, that was a genuine fifth realm, and he also had a record of fighting against the sky.

Which killer was so desperate that he would go to such a person to die?

Therefore, he sighed and said, "Father, you'd better save your worries. No one dares to accept this assassination order even if you dare to send it."

"Why? Is there any problem in this world that money can't solve?" Yan Sifu asked puzzledly.

Yan Peng knew that his father had been in the government for a long time and didn't know much about the world.

In his opinion, although warriors are powerful, they must have their limits, so as long as the money is enough, there is nothing that can't be done.

But he didn't know what a genius like Zhao Ya meant.

"Father, this Zhao Ya is extremely powerful. Even Senior Sister Yan admits that she is not his opponent. Do you think there is any assassin in the world who can kill such a person?"

"What? Yan Xizhao is not his opponent either?" Yan Sifu finally had a more intuitive feeling of Zhao Ya's strength.

"Yes, she said it herself."

"Then... the leader or elder of the three sects, two academies and one villa can do it. It's not that no one in the huge Yandu City can control him." Yan Sifu said after hesitating for a moment.

"The major clan leaders should be able to do it, but do you think such a person will take action easily? As for the other elders... I really dare not say." Yan Peng said.

Before, he might have been a little dissatisfied with Zhao Ya's strength.

But after understanding him for a few days, Yan Peng finally understood that such a genius could not be guessed by common sense.

Yan Sifu finally wilted.

Seeing this, Yan Peng could not help but persuade: "Father, I know you don't like Zhao Ya and Shang Jingchuan, but I advise you not to interfere in this matter. After all, didn't you say before that he did a good job as the prefect of Jingzhao, and you also have a share of the credit."

Yan Sifu finally changed his mindset and sighed.

"Okay, then I'll listen to you, but if I don't take action, those wealthy families will not let him go."

"Then it's not your business, don't you think?"

"Well, this is true, I'll see how long Zhao Ya can be arrogant."

Yan Sifu is not a fool.

In fact, how many fools can survive in the court?

Seeing that the previous attempt to win over failed, Yan Sifu immediately changed his strategy and returned the gold notes to the major families, and also sent Shang Jingchuan's words.

As for how these families will react and how they plan to deal with Shang Jingchuan, that is their business.

As expected, when the news spread, Shang Jingchuan's words immediately caused a stir in the court of Dayan and the aristocratic families.

"Dayan's royal law, justice and people's hearts? How long have I not heard these words? This Shang Jingchuan is probably treating us all as fools." Someone sneered.

"Damn, I guess this guy is nothing, just too little." Someone frowned.

But a small number of people fell into deep thought.

Yun Family.

The old patriarch Yun Jizheng was half-lying on a chair with his eyes closed and dozing.

As the mainstay of the court back then, the last prime minister of the Yun family, he is now very old.

Since he retired and returned home, he has acquired a new problem, that is, he likes to sleep.

He can spend more than half of his time sleeping every day.

For example, now, not long after breakfast, he leaned on the chair and fell asleep again.

Yun Yizhi, who came into the room to pay his respects, was about to tiptoe out when he saw this.

At this moment, Yun Jixiu closed his eyes and said, "Stop."

Yun Yizhi immediately stopped and shouted respectfully, "Father, you are not asleep."

"Of course I am not asleep."

At this point, Yun Jixiu opened his eyes, and a gleam of light flashed in his old eyes.

"Have you heard about what's going on outside?" Yun Jixiu said calmly.

"heard."

"What do you think?"

"Amazing." Yun Yizhi replied honestly.

This is also his true inner thought.

"I heard... Yuan'er knows this Zhao Ya."

"Well, it does happen."

Yun Yizhi was not surprised that his father knew such a trivial matter.

Even though Yun Jixiu has become very old, he is actually very clear-headed. Basically, all the big and small things that happen at home cannot escape his eyes. It is just a question of whether he is willing to take care of it or not.

"Let Yuan'er improve the relationship with Zhao Ya, and...if there is a chance, I would like to meet this Shang Jingchuan."

"I will try my best to arrange it."

"Don't be anxious, and don't force it. If you can't do it, forget it. Do you understand?"

"yes!"

Yun Yizhi withdrew without daring to stay. He directly found Yunyuan and told him what the old man said.

Yun Yuan smiled bitterly, "How could I not know how to maintain a good relationship with Zhao Ya? But the key is that since the funeral was over and I took charge of the third room, I haven't seen him again."

"Then you should try your best to find a way to get close to him, because this person is very crucial and may even affect your future status. Do you understand?" Yun Yizhi asked.

"let me try!"

Yun Yizhi left.

As soon as he walked away with his front legs, Yun Jin jumped out of his back legs and said with a smile: "Brother, since my father said so, why don't we go over and look for Zhao Ya."

"After all, he helped you so much back then, so you have to thank him in person."

Maybe it was this last sentence that moved Yunyuan.

He nodded, "Okay, then I'll go and visit you."

Naturally, you can't go empty-handed when visiting. Fortunately, Yunyuan has not stopped searching for dried meat during this period.

A large box full of black dragon meat jerky has been accumulated.

I just happened to go see Zhao Ya in the name of delivering dried meat.

Yunyuan took the dried meat and led Yun Jin to Guangdefang Xiaojing Hutong.

But when he knocked on the door, he found that Zhao Ya was not at home.

After explaining his purpose, Zui'er said with a smile: "Oh, you look for my Brother Xiaoya. He has been busy in Jingzhao Mansion during this time and hasn't been back for two or three days. If you want to find him, go to Jingzhao Mansion." House."

Yunyuan felt helpless upon hearing this.

There are at least 80 people standing in front of the Jingzhao Mansion, asking to see him. If I go there, I don’t know when I will be able to see Zhao Ya.

He had no choice but to leave the dried meat behind and then left.

At the same time, Zhao Ya was leading the people from Jingzhao Mansion to shuttle through the city of Yandu, specifically arresting those who committed evil crimes.

Most of the people just restrained their hands obediently. Only a small number of people believed in their own strength and planned to resist, but in the end, they were all sent to see the King of Hell by Zhao Ya.

Under this powerful method, even those wealthy families who were usually arrogant and domineering and took pleasure in oppressing the people have restrained themselves a lot and no longer dare to show off.

For a time, the security of the entire Yandu City was completely improved.
