Shen He also knew the generals of Yingtian Mansion very well. He spent ten thousand taels of money to investigate and finally understood that He Qiaoyuan bribed those generals and then secretly invited these generals to a banquet.

The generals thought that Shen He was looking for them to drink and have fun, but instead of seeing Shen He, they saw Li Yi.

The generals naturally recognized the famous Li Yi, and their expressions suddenly changed, but Li Yi suddenly waved his hand, and the sergeants who had been preparing for a long time immediately swarmed up and tied them all up.

All these people shouted loudly, but no one came to rescue them.

Li Yi looked at them coldly and said: "Take them to the money mint."

The soldiers were still making trouble and throwing stones. Shi Kefa was hit in the corner of his eyebrow and blood flowed out.

Li Yi looked at the group of soldiers and said coldly: "Do you think that the law will not punish the public, so you are so bold that you should attack the imperial envoy? You must know that the imperial envoy has the Shang Fang sword given by the emperor, just to kill the traitor and the ruthless People, if you are not afraid, just keep making trouble, and I will see if your head can still be pressed on your neck properly."

During this period of time, the soldiers already knew who the handsome young man in front of them was. He was a figure that Jiannu was afraid to kill and was called a ghost by Jiannu. Now that he was forced to do so with such evil aura, how could he still dare to be so presumptuous? They stood there honestly.

Li Yi nodded and shouted: "Bring the criminals here."

After a while, the soldiers brought the generals out one by one.

The generals and generals had been tied up tightly and were kneeling on the high platform, all panicking.

They dared to come here to make trouble because they were instigated by the generals. Now that even Shangguan has been convicted, do they really want to continue making trouble?

There was already a desire to retreat in the soldiers' eyes, and the generals were anxious in their hearts. However, their mouths were tied and they could only keep struggling, but it could not eliminate the fear in the soldiers' hearts.

At this time, Shi Kefa stepped forward and said: "I was ordered by the emperor to go south to collect taxes. You don't understand how much taxes Jiangnan owes and how much influence it has on the court. I can understand it. But you should never, absolutely should not Instigated by this group of generals, they obstructed me and affected the national economy."

The soldiers were shocked and frightened. They looked at each other and did not dare to act recklessly.

Shi Kefa snorted coldly when he saw it and said: "Please give me the sword."

As soon as the four words "Shang Fang Bao Jian" came out, everyone held their breath.

Shi Kefa held Shang Fang's sword and shouted: "In response to the great trust of the Holy Spirit, I held the sword and went south to kill the ignorant officials at the top and the treacherous ministers at the bottom. Today I am forced to have no choice but to use this sword to punish you for your crimes."

After speaking, he walked forward and pierced the throat of a general with his sword.

Pulling out the sword, the general covered his neck with both hands and fell to the ground. His whole body was twitching, and bright blood flowed out from between his fingers. He couldn't stop it at all.

Seeing the general being killed, the soldiers below became even more frightened and retreated continuously.

Shi Kefa wiped the blood on his sword with a snow-white cotton cloth and said loudly: "Your Majesty, please be kind, I am only going to kill the culprit today. You will do as you are told. I don't want to ask any more questions, so just leave. You will be able to avoid disaster. Otherwise, don't do anything." It's my fault that I used Shang Fang's sword to chop off your heads."

After speaking, he walked forward, cut the ropes of the other generals, and shouted coldly: "Do you understand?"

Seeing the tragic death of their companions, these generals still had a desire to oppose them, so they all knelt on the ground and changed their minds.

There was finally a smile on Shi Kefa's stern face, and he looked at Li Yi with gratitude in his eyes.

If it weren't for Li Yi who was beside him to advise and work hard, he would definitely not be able to handle such things well.

The soldiers dispersed, and Li Yi put the craftsmen of the coin factory back to work to continuously produce new money to provide the court with sufficient money and food.

On the other side, He Qiaoyuan and Tu Shiji both came to Zheng Sanjun.

Tu Shiji was the left minister of the Ministry of War. This time, a general was killed by Shang Fang's sword, so it was not enough to conceal it. When the emperor knew about it, he might not be able to live up to his reputation as the left minister of the Ministry of War.

Thinking that he had studied hard in the cold window and had waited so long to become the left minister of the Ministry of War, Tu Shiji actually burst into tears and said: "Sir, I did this just to help you vent your anger. Who knew that this Li Yi was really a monster and actually colluded with Shen He, deceived those generals, and this time Shi Kefa took the opportunity to frighten him. A general was killed, or was killed by Shang Fang's sword. The official, the official will be finished now."

Zheng Sanjun looked at Tu Shiji with a trace of ridicule on his lips.

He despised those generals the most. If they die, they will die. What a man, no need to cry.

But this matter is not that simple. Seeing how powerful Shi Kefa is, Zheng Sanjun can't help but become defensive, thinking about how to punish Shi Kefa.

At this time, He Qiaoyuan next to him said: "Shi Kefa has Shang Fang's sword in his hand, and we can't do anything to him. But Shen He is just a businessman. If we target him together, I'm afraid we can teach Shi Kefa a lesson."

Zheng Sanjun nodded when he heard this and said: "In that case, Shen He, a rip-off guy, really needs to straighten things out. You go there in person and suppress Shi Kefa's arrogance."

But for the past three days, He Qiaoyuan made no progress at all.

Zheng Sanjun was not in a hurry. After asking, he found out that Shen He had actually joined the Anxin Chamber of Commerce.

Zheng Sanjun thought of the energy behind Anxin Chamber of Commerce and did not dare to act rashly.

You must know that there are rumors that the Anxin Chamber of Commerce has dividends from the emperor, and the noble families are very dependent on the goods produced by Anxin. This is an interest group.

But he doesn't care about this now. If the hozens fall and the hozens scatter, and if he is really crushed by Shi Kefa, a bunch of juniors will definitely doubt him in the future and lose control.

Thinking about this, Zheng Sanjun decided to plan carefully and find a way to resist.

But before his resistance started, Shi Kefa had already figured out how to deal with him.

Although Shi Kefa let the generals go this time, it did not mean that they were not at fault, so he asked them to write out the incident in detail and sign it as evidence.

With this evidence, Shi Kefa can justifiably attack Tu Shiji.

You must know that the soldiers besieging the coin foundry were ordered by Tu Shiji. Now that things are like this, the best way is to remove the obstacles as soon as possible.

The current obstacles are Tu Shiji, He Qiaoyuan, and Zheng Sanjun, the Minister of Household Affairs.

Li Yi, carrying a waist knife, and Shi Kefa stopped Tu Shiji's sedan chair.

Tu Shiji was not aware of the danger, thinking that a beggar was blocking his way, so he let the boy in the sedan drive the beggar away.

But when they saw Shi Kefa who killed the general, how dare these people come forward, they all bowed their heads and remained silent.

Tu Shiji suddenly felt something was wrong. When he came out and saw Shi Kefa, he was slightly startled and said, "Your Majesty, what is going on here? Why are you waiting here?"

Shi Kefa smiled coldly and threw the paper in his hand to Tu Shiji and said: "Master Tu is really scheming. I just came to Yingtian a few days ago and he gave such a big gift."

Tu Shiji couldn't help but feel his heart skip a beat when he saw that his men had really surrendered him.

He quickly tore up the testimony and said in a cold voice: "Master Shi, this is completely a frame-up by them. You can never believe it. As for your tax recovery, it is a major matter that is beneficial to the country. I will help you even if I am broken into pieces."

Please be more careful, sir."

After hearing Tu Shiji's few words to get rid of himself, the coldness in Shi Kefa's eyes became even stronger.

He said loudly: "Master Tu, all kinds of evidence now show that you deliberately ordered the general to hinder the recovery of taxes. If you are really innocent, let the Ministry of Punishment investigate carefully, and the results will naturally come out by then."

Tu Shiji had no backer in the capital. If this matter was seen by the ministers of the imperial court and the emperor knew about it, he might not be able to clean himself up by jumping into the Yellow River. It would be a small matter to lose his official position. He might even be able to save his own life.

It's all unknown.

Thinking of this, Tu Shiji said in a deep voice: "Sir, if I am willing to support you, can I ask you to say a few kind words for me to the emperor and the court, which can be regarded as atonement?"

Li Yi smiled and said: "Master Tu seems to have made a mistake. We are doing this to recover taxes."

What Li Yi meant by this was that they came to Yingtian Mansion not to make enemies and attack Tu Shiji and other executives, but to recover taxes. As long as the taxes could be fully recovered, everything would be fine.

Tu Shiji heard this and said: "I am willing to help you recover the tax."

Li Yi and Shi Kefa looked at each other and saw a smile in each other's eyes.

Li Yi smiled and said: "So how does Master Tu plan to help us?"

Tu Shiji thought for a while and said: "I don't know much about the situation in the Ministry of Revenue, but as long as you are willing to investigate, you will definitely be able to find out."

Shi Kefa frowned when he heard this and said: "Then Master Tu's so-called support for me is just to sit on the sidelines."

The situation is not very clear now. Although Shi Kefa has the upper hand in a short time, Zheng Sanjun is very prestigious in Yingtian Mansion and is a cunning old fox. Shi Kefa is probably not his opponent.

Tu Shiji's so-called support originally meant neutrality, because he had previously helped He Qiaoyuan deal with Shi Kefa. Now being able to remain neutral is a disguised form of support.

Li Yi smiled, but his smile was indescribably cold.

He looked at Tu Shiji and said: "Master Tu, you should know the situation in Yingtian Mansion better than we do. You are also familiar with He Qiaoyuan, so you will definitely be of great help."

Tu Shiji didn't understand Li Yi's plan, he just thought that Li Yi agreed to his conditions, so he couldn't help but feel relieved.

But that afternoon, Tu Shiji took refuge with Shi Kefa and betrayed He Qiaoyuan.

He Qiaoyuan was shocked and angry, and hid in a hurry. However, he was caught by Li Yi, who had been waiting for a long time, and was taken to a secluded place.

Li Yi looked at He Qiaoyuan and said coldly: "Master He, Master Tu has abandoned the dark side and turned to the bright side. Now I will give you a chance to help Shi Kefa, that is, to help the emperor. After this incident, there will naturally be no disadvantage at all. Do you want to think about it?

.”

He Qiaoyuan looked at Li Yi and said in shock and anger: "What are you doing? I have done nothing illegal. Even if I break the law, I will be arrested by the Ministry of Punishment. Who do you think you are? You dare to imprison me."

Li Yi sneered and said: "It seems that Mr. He is still stubborn. Well, let Mr. Tu talk to you."

After saying that, he walked out of the room and saw Tu Shiji waiting. When he saw Li Yi, he said angrily: "Li Zizheng, why are you showing off outside, saying that I defected to Shi Kefa and betrayed He Qiaoyuan?"

Li Yi said: "Master Tu, what you mean by these words is whether you have taken refuge in Shi Kefa or not, please make it clear first."

Tu Shiji gasped and said: "You, you, didn't I say that I took refuge with the imperial envoy, but..."

"But what, sir, what do you want to do? Do you want to stand on two boats and reap the benefits of being a fisherman?"

Tu Shiji was frightened by Li Yi's words and did not dare to speak.
