Elder Yan paused for a moment, observing Zhang Shi's reaction, and continued, "In Banshanfang, just because this person disliked Buddhism, he used the Banshan Daily to mobilize the people. In a few days, the Fuyun Temple in Banshanfang became a ruin! It is said that the abbot's personality changed drastically and he went into the mountains and became a wild man!"
"This incident fully demonstrates his narrow-mindedness and his vindictiveness! He could do such a cruel thing to a monk who had no influence on him at all..."
"Although you two don't have much hatred, but according to his character, will he let you go when he takes over the power in the future?"
Zhang Shi picked up the teacup to hide his nervousness.
Yes, Fang Zheng usually kept a low profile when attending court, but the first thing he did was to announce the good news.
But if you have a conflict with someone, you will definitely be harsh in your words.
Besides, his son had already been severely punished by him, and he even wanted to take revenge in the exam room!
Don't care about your own reaction at all!
This is enough to prove that this person is vindictive!
If he really gains power in the future...won't he be in big trouble?
After thinking it over, Zhang Shi calmly put down his teacup and said, "What do you think, Lord Yan? I think Lord Yan thinks that if Fang Zheng continues to be neglected, he will probably become a cancer in the court."
Old Yan sighed, "That's right... Your Majesty has left it alone, and the Crown Prince has no opinion. This traitor will definitely be a headache for me in the future!"
Zhang Shi sighed, "Alas, if that's the case, how would Lord Yan think of eradicating this cancer? Would he not let me be the vanguard?"
Elder Yan shook his sleeves lightly and said, "Yes, that's how it should be. Only if we work together can we have a chance."
"But I can't show up now, I need you to be in front..."
It’s time to show your cards, right?
Zhang Shi chuckled, stood up and bowed: "Mr. Yan, I am sorry to bother you today. Goodbye!"
\"Hey! Wait a minute! Don't go, I haven't finished speaking yet!" Seeing that Zhang Shi really left, Old Yan kept trying to keep him.
Zhang Shi turned around slowly and said, "Please stay, Mr. Yan. I came here today just to inform you of this matter. I have no other intentions!"
"It's getting late, I should go too."
Old Yan stood up, walked forward, grabbed Zhang Shi’s sleeve, and looked at him angrily.
Young people have no moral principles! Just go away!
Then he whispered angrily: "You, the Minister of Revenue, are willing to be repeatedly teased by a little kid?"
"It's all over, let's just leave it at that. Isn't Lord Yan willing to give up his personal grudge for the sake of the family? I should learn more from you."
"you!....."
Elder Yan sighed and said, "Sit down and talk. Listen to me."
Zhang Shi nodded, and the two turned around and returned to their seats.
Old Master Yan looked at Zhang Shi and continued, "I might as well just say it clearly."
"As long as Fang Zhengyi is still alive, I will not rest in peace! I will definitely avenge Guoan."
"But I can't let go of this family, so if we want to solve this problem properly, we have to work together."
"Now you just need to tell me whether you want Fang Zhengyi to leave the court."
Zhang Shi nodded slowly.
He also wanted to kill Fang Zhengyi, but the prince obviously wanted to live.
But he didn't mind trampling Fang Zheng into the mud first. If he had no official status, he would be just a dog next to the prince.
"Then your goals and mine don't conflict."
"But right now, the evidence that Fang Zhengyi is in contact with the Northern Rong is not enough to influence him. What should we do?" Zhang Shi asked.
"Although these things currently have some effect, the evidence is not strong enough."
"The Beirong envoys must have brought silver to the capital, so if they want to bribe, they must act covertly. The silver must be exchanged for silver notes at the bank."
"If such a huge amount of silver is to be exchanged at a bank, the Honglu Temple will definitely send an interpreter and escort personnel."
"If we send someone to the Fang Mansion to offer bribes, the people in the delegation are not familiar with the roads in the capital, and they don't have maps, so when they go to the Fang Mansion, they will most likely ask the interpreter from the Honglu Temple to lead the way under the pretext of visiting."
"This way, the evidence can prove that Fang Zhengyi accepted bribes!"
Zhang Shi frowned: "How to bite to death? If the Beirong people just visited Fang Zhengyi, who can see with their own eyes and prove that he accepted bribes?"
Old Yan smiled and shook his head: "There is no need to let people see it. If the Beirong people really go to the bank to exchange silver notes, people will doubt their motives."
"On weekdays, the Honglu Temple helps them with their purchases, so they only need to use cash. Why do they have to use silver notes?"
"Secondly, there must be someone from Beirong who visited Fang Zhengyi privately, plus Chen Hong as a witness!"
"Everything makes sense. The answer is what people think in their hearts! When the time comes, let Fang Zhengyi prove his innocence! Even if he has a lot of mouths, he still can't explain it."
"We can then ask the court to send people to search Fang Zheng's house and prove his innocence. If he refuses, then he must be guilty! Even if he didn't take bribes, can someone like Fang Zheng, who controls such a huge fortune, withstand an investigation?"
This piece of old ginger is really poisonous.
Zhang Shi clapped his hands and laughed: "That's right, but what you said is not enough to bring him down."
Elder Yan sighed and said, "Indeed, so we can't touch him now."
"We have to wait! Wait for Fang Zhengyi's next mistake. Then we can punish him for both crimes and kill him with one strike!"
"Otherwise, with the prince's influence, he will rise again sooner or later."
Zhang Shi asked: "Then... why did Lord Yan tell me to go first? Does it matter who starts the fight first? And can we just wait?"
"Can't your Majesty see clearly the hatred between Fang Zhengyi and my Yan family? Your Majesty is biased to begin with, and it will be even more difficult to deal with then."
"So I need you to be ahead of me, but you can't just sit there and wait until the opportunity presents itself."
