Chapter 84 Self-defeating

Tan Zong's words seemed reasonable, but if you really think about it, only seven points are true, while the remaining three points are false. People like Zhao Yunan will not learn from those bureaucrats to engage in party disputes. Therefore, Wang Ren's resignation and Wang Ren's arrest and imprisonment are a world of difference for Zhao Yunan. Zhao Yunan was thinking of grabbing Wang Ren, a corrupt official who was hidden very deeply, not wanting Wang Ren to move away from his position, or even taking the opportunity to attack Master Wang Ge.

Therefore, whether Wang Ren left or not was of no benefit to Zhao Yunan and even Tan Zong, but on the contrary, they could only prove the failure of the two.

However, Tan Zong was confident that Li Zuiren must not know these things. This is naturally because the two parties had inconsistent views on this case from the beginning.

In the eyes of others, the Wang Ren case seems to be located in Nanjing, but because of Wang Ren's special identity, his rise and fall will definitely involve Wang Ge Lao far away in the capital. Therefore, rather than saying that this case is investigating Wang Ren, it is better to say that Wang Ge Lao is attacking Wang Ge Lao. Therefore, as long as the purpose of attacking Wang Ge Lao can be achieved, it is a victory in the fight. As for whether Wang Ren is transferred or arrested in the case, there is actually no essential difference.

This is the biggest difference between the two sides: Wang Ren and his aides in his mansion are focused on party struggles, while Zhao Yunan's eyes are focused on the elimination of corruption in the Nanjing officialdom.

"Wrong...wrong...wrong!" Li Zuiren was really deceived by Tan Zong's words this time, so he suddenly lost his anger and fell down softly.

"Brother Zuiren? Brother Zuiren?" Tan Zong didn't care about implementing his scheming anymore and hurriedly supported Li Zuiren, but unexpectedly heard Li Zuiren calling himself a sinner in a very small voice.

"Li Zui Ren"? "Li Jianren"?

"Is there really a number of days?" Tan Zong suddenly felt a stern in his heart.

Since his soul passed through, he began to believe in things like gods, demons, ghosts and monsters that had always thought were strange things. Now, because Li Zuiren called himself a sinner, he began to think of these things again.

"There is a god three feet high. Could it be that this is the punishment God gave to Wang Ren and others?" Tan Zong thought to himself: "If so, what else should we do? If we hadn't tried hard to investigate the case, how could this Li Zuiren use this stupid move? But, if it weren't for a coincidence, how could Zhao Yunan delay the time? How could Wen Chang leave so by chance? How could those tax officials seriously injured Wade? These are really just coincidences?" For a moment, Tan Zong, who was confused in his mind, fell into deep thought.

"Sir." Han Yishen sat down carefully. He looked at Wang Ren, who was frowning again, and felt a little satisfied. Looking at Wang Ren's expression, he obviously encountered a problem, and he specially sent someone to "invite" him back from the river bank, so he naturally felt that Han Yishen could help him. Therefore, Han Yishen was excited, thinking that this time he would definitely take advantage of the exhibition and the two people Li Zuiren were not here, so he showed his skills and helped Wang Ren handle the matter properly.

After another cup of tea, Wang Ren raised his head from the desk and said, "Mr. Han, what's going on the river embankment?"

Han Yishen knew that this was just an appetizer before the work, and the real big thing was probably still to come. But even though he knew that, Han Yishen knew that Wang Ren was most concerned about the problem of the river embankment, so he had to cheer up and answered: "Don't worry, I have been inspecting the river embankment every day in the past few days, and those kids would definitely not dare to be lazy. As long as there is another two days, the river embankment will be fully repaired."

Wang Ren nodded, but personally handed a letter from the desk to Han Yishen and said, "Mr. Sun sent someone to send a private message. However, if this rain continues to accumulate, it may lead to a huge flood that is rare in a century." After that, Wang Ren walked a few steps in the room, but his face became more and more serious; "There are several gentlemen in Luming Academy who are quite familiar with this astronomy. Since Mr. Sun's letter said this, there must be no false."

Although Wang Ren mentioned the weather, Han Yishen knew his intentions when he heard it and quickly replied: "Don't worry, sir, I have sent people to strengthen the time in those places. As long as the rain can be delayed for two days, even a flood that is rare in a century is not enough to worry about. I am just worried about Suhang..." Han Yishen looked up at Wang Ren, but stopped talking.

Han Yishen’s words were implicit, but in fact, they were eye drops for Zhan Muyun, who went to Suzhou and Hangzhou to supervise water conservancy.

Wang Ren seemed to have no idea, but just replied casually: "Mr. Zhan, I have asked Fengxian to send someone to send a letter. I think there will be no mistakes in Mr. Zhan's meticulousness."

"Sir, wise." Han Yishen responded quickly and quickly echoed: "Mr. Zhan is cautious and can be relieved."

"Well, Mr. Han and Mr. Zhan are both my assistants. I really don't have to do anything if I lack any one." Wang Ren sighed, and then changed the topic: "I'm sending another letter from the capital." After Wang Ren said this, his expression became solemn.

Han Yishen knew that today's highlight was coming, especially now that Wang Ren and him were the only one in the room, which made him feel more rewarded, so he had to suppress his excitement and said: "What do you say in the capital? Could it be that there has been a change in Ge Lao's place?"

"That's true." Wang Ren nodded: "The letter said that Lord Li has resigned on behalf of Mr. Li, and the official has agreed."

"Good thing, a great thing." Han Yishen pretended to be excited and paused the crutch in his hand, and said excitedly: "As long as Master Wang can successfully become the chief minister, it will be a small matter here. Even if King An dares not take any more advice from the adults."

Wang Ren nodded again, but his expression was not very excited. Obviously, he had already thought of this. After a moment, Wang Ren said, "It was just that in the letter, the man has now started to do things around in Beijing to handle things, but Master Wang asked me to raise 100,000 taels of silver immediately to respond to the emergency. After half a month, he would send another 100,000 taels."

"That's 200,000 taels?" Han Yishen pondered, his eyes closed for a long time before opening it: "This time, 100,000 taels are easy to deal with. There are already some deposits in previous years on the books, so it should be enough to find some people to get together. However, the time half a month later is much more difficult, so I'm afraid I'll still discuss it with Lord Chen. It's a bit difficult to rely on our government office to get out."

Wang Ren nodded, then shook his head and said, "It's easy to talk about Chen Zifu, but we are in a little trouble. There is news from King An, and we will start checking the accounts tomorrow. I'm afraid this money will not be easy to move."

"Check the account? Lord Wei is not..." Han Yishen glanced at Wang Ren in confusion, but stopped talking.

Wang Dong, Chen Ju and others, bribed He Tiexhou and others to injure Wade, and now it has become a taboo in the mansion, but Han Yishen cannot say this publicly.
